    Just asking, 'cause I really don't know. For sure MUT and FUT have BIG $$ tournaments. It's become the core, and main attraction, of the game for many.

    If The Show doesn't...why do you fellow forum folk believe they do not?

    And, let's try to be fair and rationale. Not just because "tournaments are dumb and SDS is smart". Offer up some fair and critically thought rationales.

    Perhaps our collective responses would be beneficial to the developers moving forward. It's an undeniable fact that EA's tournament presence and the residuals are, likely, more than any marketing mechanism SDS has ever employed.

    Hopefully, SDS can work on this aspect of the game that is sorely lacking. But, brothers and sisters of the forum...this is our moment to make a difference. Let's share our thoughts as to why, maybe, The Show are $$ Tourneys are not a thing.

    They actually do, they started $ tournaments back in MLB 19, and have had two this year, the summer circuit, and the ongoing fall circuit. I believe the fall stuff is still in qualifying rounds atm.

    Nevermind, I found it. Yeah, appears to be quite a bit different than the EA offerings. In those, players actually make money...sometimes lots and lots.

    Evidently, the proceeds in The Show's Tourney are like a charity. From the link - hat will be followed by a playoff and World Series, with money going to various Boys & Girls Clubs in each player’s city.

    I assume, don't know for a fact..but it appears, the reason this might be is because they can't conduct it as a cash tourny because it's not a "for real" competitive game. I'm sure there are stipulations, legalize, and what not that come into play in any type of money event. Perhaps The Show doesn't follow the proper level of authenticity? Or, maybe, SDS doesn't endorse money tournaments.
    Who knows?

    I dunno, but it's pretty cool that ESPN2 might carry some of it. Should be interesting to watch.

    Idk where you get your info, but no, it's not like a charity, the winner gets the $, they don't have to donate any of it.

    The charity one I mentioned was a Draft Kings thing a couple months back.

    Those aren't the ones I'm talking about, that was a competition of real MLB players going head to head on The Show while real baseball wasn't playing, so of course the money got donated to charity, they are MLB players who make at minimum 500k a year

    This is the tournament I am talking about https://compete.playstation.com/en-us/program/mlb-the-show-20-fall-circuit
